【 摘 要 】

In this research propose a synthesis and study characteristics of electrode for photoelectrochemical cells using TiO2nanotubes electrode. The fabrication of electrode for photoelectrochemical cells using TiO2nanotubes which made from anodization process at size area 2×2 cm2and counter electrode used platinum pastes coated on fluoride-doped tin oxide (FTO) glass at size area 2×2 cm2. The solar simulation was used as the light source for the photoelectrochemical cells at 100mW/cm2. The morphological properties of TiO2electrode was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). We measure the sheet resistance, open circuit voltage and short circuit current for analyse the photoconversion efficiency. The photoconversion efficiency was 5.78%, open circuit voltage was 0.72V and short circuit current was 2.87mA.
